India to Require Up to 1.5 Billion Sq Ft of Private Education Infrastructure by 2035
India is projected to need 1.0-1.5 billion square feet of additional private education infrastructure by FY 2034-35, driven by rising student enrolments and demand for quality education, according to a CBRE report. Private K-12 schools are expected to account for about 0.9 billion sq ft, with higher education institutions requiring 0.4 billion sq ft. The sector is shifting towards professionally managed platforms, attracting institutional investors, especially in urban and select tier-II cities, with growing interest in separating real estate ownership from academic operations.
